    They play in the topflight?
    Anyway since he was on a 2-year contract a transferfee must have been paid. Must have made a couple of bucks for FCE then.

    He subbed on m. 89 in their 2-0 loss to Club Siero before Xmas, the only game he could play so far. I think that is a good club for a kid of his age to develop in, and the football in the Asturias region is quite competitive. 
    Avilés is fair-sized industrial city and really should be a better team, as the football tradition is there, but they have not figured as an important club for decades now. After financial ups and downs it is currently being run by an association of supporters, which is interesting. The stadium holds 5400:

    It’s def no longer a one man’s job. With the increased availability of player data, so also comes the increase of players to be added (and to be maintained) on the database. Compared to those early lists we have exponentially more players to track. So I wouldn’t say the job is necessarily easier. Luckily the google document allows infinite people to edit at the same time, hence why I was so ademant that it’s a superior solution to a forum post. Although I admit, it may have lost a certain early 90s forum charm 🙂.

    Yes he has signed.  
    Here is my translation of the Finnish article:
    "New player contract - versatile Jonas Häkkinen has signed with Vaasan Palloseura 
    Vaasan Palloseura [VPS] has signed a player contract with the young Finnish player Jonas Häkkinen. The contract is 1+1 years. [unspecified whether the option is one way or two way] 
    Jonas Häkkinen is a multi-functional player who owns both the Finnish and Canadian passports, and who can play both stopper and defensive midfielder. 
    "For the last few years he has played stopper, but before that he has played defensive midfielder, as well", VPS head coach Petri Vuorinen comments. 
    Häkkinen has played his entire career in Vancouver, where he has played in the Whitecaps academy. Häkkinen has Finnish parents and he speaks good Finnish, although his native tongue is English. 
    "Jonas has trained with us for quite a while already. He came to Finland to uplift his career. Comparing him with other players of his generation (1999), I believe that he has the full potential to succeed in Finnish Premier League", Vuorinen analyzes. 
    Very little about this promising player is known in Finland. Contact between the player and the club came through his agent. The youngster has trained with VPS for a month already. 
    "The agent suggested that we give Jonas a trial. We decided to take him along and have been judging his play. In the last few years, many young players looking to develop have trialed for us. This time we found a good "match". I do not think many have heard of him here, even though he is Finnish. He is a new face for many here in that sense."
    In addition to his playing skills, there is another thing Vuorinen specifically likes about Häkkinen. 
    "He has a very tough but healthy attitude about sports and football in general. All that is right", Vuorinen comments. 
    Jonas' own interview will be done during November. 
    --------
    Since it's my first post, I figure it's fine to use this space to say hello everybody, too. I am a VPS fan from Finland - a cold, stable Northern country, with an under-performing National Team with a history of promising players selecting some another country, and whose general public has an unhealthy obsession with this sticky-sport played on ice.
    Suppose this description also explains to you all why I have somehow developed kind of a weird sympathetic affinity towards the "soccer people" in Canada, and hence I have been following your NT for the past few years, including lurking on this forum occasionally. So I figured that now that this guy signed with my local club team, it would be a good excuse to register here too. So I do hope you guys don't mind having me as an "outsider" for our countries are yet to develop a fierce rivalry in this sport. (Although I also wouldn't mind, if in the next few years one developed over Häkkinen's services at the senior level. )
    ---------
    Would Jonas warrant his own thread, btw? Now that he's going to be playing here, I would be more than glad to contribute with updates on Jonas etc. since I watch every VPS game anyway.

    This is the time of year where we see the most changes. We usually catch players joining new clubs, but our biggest challenge in keeping the list accurate, is catching all the players who have left their clubs.
    If you want to help, feel free to go through the MOACA list, and see if we got any wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It's funny how we live and die by many of these dual nationals but then they don't really turn out into these great players once they choose Canada. He was really poor at the Toulon Tournament and as for this move, as long as he gets regular minutes that's good.

    Sure that sounds like a good principle, but what if the guy scores 10 goals and 15 assists as a winger and Dundee Utd. tear through the Championship? You don't call a guy like that up?

    Mikaël Cantave has accepted a full senior call-up for Haiti, who are playing a friendly vs. Argentina in the Bombonera at the end of the month. We could take this as a definitive choice not to play for Canada, I wonder if he felt slighted by not being called into our recent camp. Otherwise he has never responded to them and has always played for us.

    He was not on the final list of players for the 2nd half of the season, so his trial was not successful.
